What is Motion?
Motion is a productivity tool that takes "AI automatic scheduling" as its core selling point. Its official positioning is to use artificial intelligence to automatically arrange tasks, meetings and projects into your calendar, freeing you from the hassle of manually dragging time blocks. Unlike traditional tools that only handle to-do lists or calendars, Motion comprehensively considers task priorities, deadlines, estimated time requirements and existing meetings to generate a real-time executable schedule for the day. It automatically rearranges the plan when it is disrupted, so that "what to do when" is no longer decided arbitrarily by humans. Targeting both individuals and teams, Motion aims to use algorithms to replace the act of "spending ten minutes a day figuring out what to do first today".
Who is it for?
- Knowledge workers who are overwhelmed with meetings and to-do lists every day but don’t want to spend time on time-block planning.
- Entrepreneurs and product managers who manage multiple projects simultaneously and need to unify cross-project tasks into the calendar for scheduling.
- Teams that want to replace handwritten daily plans with "automatic scheduling" but can't do without Google/Outlook Calendars.
- Team leaders and project managers who need to see team members' workloads and avoid scheduling conflicts when assigning tasks.
- People who have fixed habits or recurring tasks and want the system to automatically set aside time for them.
Key features
6AI Automatic Scheduling
Automatically fills tasks into free time slots on the calendar based on priority and dependencies. The official claims it saves a lot of manual planning time, allowing teams to focus on execution rather than scheduling. When a new task is added, the system finds the most suitable time slot throughout the day to insert it.
Smart Calendar Integration
Connects with Google and Outlook Calendars, unifies the display of meetings, tasks, and personal events to avoid conflicts across multiple schedules; external meetings are also respected as hard constraints by the scheduling engine.
Task and Project Management
Supports Kanban, list, and project views. Tasks can be split into subtasks with set durations, and cross-project workloads are clearly visible on a single timeline, making it ideal for users who need to advance multiple directions simultaneously.
Dynamic Rescheduling
When an impromptu meeting or a higher-priority task is added, the existing schedule is automatically postponed or adjusted to prioritize key deadlines; delayed tasks will seek new available time slots with their context retained.
Team Capacity View
Managers can see their team members' task loads and schedules, identify who is overloaded and who has available capacity, assist in assigning tasks and scheduling, and reduce the awkwardness of "taking on work but not being able to fit it into the schedule".
Recurring Tasks & Habits
You can set periodic tasks and habits, and the AI will automatically arrange fixed time slots for them on a weekly/daily basis, reducing forgetfulness and missed actions, and also integrating long-term goals into your daily routine.
How to use Motion
- First, import all ongoing tasks and projects into Motion, and carefully fill in the estimated duration and deadline for each task.
- The quality of scheduling is highly dependent on these inputs.
- ambiguous tasks will result in ambiguous arrangements.
- Import the actual meetings from your calendar.
- otherwise, the AI will schedule tasks in already occupied time slots, resulting in distorted scheduling and an inability to complete tasks on the same day.
- Be bold with priorities: Only mark truly urgent tasks as top priority.
- otherwise, labeling everything as "important" means no real prioritization, and critical tasks get overlooked.
- For habitual tasks, set recurring rules to fix them to daily/weekly slots, letting AI automatically reserve time instead of acting on them only when remembered, only to end up always being pushed aside.
- Compliance and Privacy Notice: Calendars and tasks contain a large amount of personal and work-related information.
- Confirm the scope of account authorization and team visibility before use.
- official features and pricing may be adjusted.
- Check the current plans and available regions on the official website before subscribing officially, and try it out before deciding to pay for a long-term subscription.
